# Arena - PVP

The Arena in Re:Anima allows you to battle other players in intense PvP matches. Defeating opponents earns you Arena points and increases your seasonal ranking. 

To climb the ranks, you'll need to craft smart Hero lineups and combat strategies to outplay the others.

## Matchmaking

In the Arena, you are matched against opponents based on your Arena Points. Winning a match earns you points, while losing deducts points. The amount of points gained or lost is determined by the relative ranking of you and your opponent. Defeating a higher ranked summoner awards more points compared to beating a lower ranked one. Similarly, losing to a lower ranked opponent costs more points than losing to a tough higher ranked summoner.

## Rank Rewards&#x20;

There are tiers to work through, from Bronze up through King. At the end of each Arena season, higher-ranked players receive more generous rewards.

There are 7 ranks and they are - Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Legend and King.
